She looks up at me with those little brown eyes
Slowly letting go of my finger
As I walk away, I take one look back not knowing if I’ll ever see them again
As I take one look back I know all the love we have-
Hope is the only strength
Tears running down their faces as mone are too
Stepping foot on ground with a great deal of adrenaline
I’m up for many hours
Scared to close my eyes
The battle fields rumbling
Men screaming horifficly
Not turning my back for a second
Tears of agony
Not knowing whats coming for me next
Many months going by
Night falls into place
Taking out the picture I hold close to my heart
Wondering how much she has grown
Wide awake I hear loud noises
I jump to start my fear all over again
Leaving my love behind
Going into battle wondering if this is my last look at life
Yet it is
I lie on my back hoping to escape from this pain
mumbling, “Tell my family I love them”
I rise to a place unknown
Seeing her first day of kindergarten
My wife is as beautiful as ever
Their tears are heartbreaking
Hoping the best for their lives
Many years will pass-
Rejoining the family love

She looks up at me with those little brown eyes
Slowly letting go of my finger
As I walk away, I take one look back not knowing if I’ll ever see them again

Tears running down their faces as mone are too
Stepping foot on ground with a great deal of adrenaline
